After weeks of dropping cryptic clues, Six Flags Over Texas early Thursday unveiled plans for a new 3D interactive ride based on the popular Justice League comic book series.

Called “Justice League: Battle for Metropolis,” the ride will debut in Arlington and at Six Flags St. Louis next year. It is being produced in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products and DC Entertainment.

In the new ride, guests will become members of the Justice League’s Reserve Team, and battle alongside Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern against foes Lex Luthor, The Joker and his henchmen. Traveling in six-passenger vehicles, riders must outsmart Lex Luthor and The Joker and save the city of Metropolis.

While waiting in an interactive line and loading area, guests will receive instructions, 3D glasses and a stun gun to stop the bad guys and save the world from being infected with The Joker’s special laughing gas.

Grand Prairie-based Six Flags Entertainment has made a commitment to introduce new rides or attractions each year at each park.

Six Flags Over Texas did not install any new thrill rides for this season but it’s giving a new feel to a popular existing ride.

The Arlington park and Six Flags St. Louis, in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products and DC Entertainment, this year will debut Mr. Freeze: Reverse Blast — a redo of the current Mr. Freeze.

Riders will travel backwards through a 190-foot tunnel, into a 180-degree inversion before climbing more than 200-feet. There, they will find themselves suspended, dangling in the air, before repeating the entire “chilling” experience.

The ride, which opens in mid-May, will maintain the original Mr. Freeze theme, patterned after Batman’s frigid arch rival in DC Comics’ Batman series.
Six Flags Over Texas also is launching two new stage shows this season.
